Anchorage,AK : Suspect in Anchorage collisions involving 8 vehicles was driving drunk on June, Tuesday 20th 2017

The driver Anchorage police say caused a crash that injured four people on the Glenn Highway near Northway Mall this month had massive amounts of alcohol in his system at the time, according to charging documents.

Court records show Jake Sundog Rotzler-Martus, 31, charged with DUI, reckless driving, failing to give immediate notice of an accident and three counts of assault in the series of collisions on the Glenn Highway from Muldoon Road to Airport Heights Drive. The wreck closed the busy Airport Heights intersection for about two hours.

A criminal complaint against Rotzler-Martus, written by Officer Alan Rydberg, said police responded just after 10 a.m. to a collision inbound on the Glenn near Muldoon Road. Officers found a semi tractor-trailer that Rotzler-Martus had rear-ended in a maroon 2002 Chevrolet Suburban.

"Investigation revealed that (Rotzler-Martus) had hit-and-run the semi and then continued driving inbound with a flattened (right front) tire," Rydberg wrote. "The hood was damaged in a manner that it impeded the driver's view, so he stuck his head out of the driver's-side window and continued to accelerate until he crashed into seven other vehicles that had been stopped at the red light to Airport Heights."
